The New I1auor Law.

The liquor law passed by the last
general assembly went into effect
Oct. lst. The law provides that no
whisky shall be offered for sale thst
is under two years and nine months
old; it also provides shat "any per-
son or persons, agent, servant, clerk,
travelling salesman or bartender, With
or without license therefore, who
shall at any time, after the first of
October, A. D. 1887, sell or give
away any whlskey to be drank or
sold fer drinking purposes in tins
state until the same is two years and
nine months of age; or who shall
offer or expose for sale in this state
any such whiskies, unless the sarrel,
keg, bottle or package containing
the same shall be plainly stamped
with tho manufacturers name, the
where manufactured, and the true
and exact date of its manufactures
shaiA &C oSSAHSN \ CiltN V- hAsdS-
meanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be fined in sum not less than
800 nor more than $1,000 for each
and every otfense."
Another clause is as follows:
"In all actions or trials brought or
held for violation of the provisions
of this section, where the question as
10 the genuiness of the stamp herein
provided for, the truth of the mat
ters and things therein contained, or
the truth and exact age of the whis-
key sold or offered for sale, shall be-
come material, the burden of proof
shall be upon the defendant"
Very few of the sslool keepers
seem to know anything about the
law. A fund has been raised by
Kentucky distillers for its enforce
ment. Agents will be employed to
detect and bring to punishment any
one who violate the law.-Elbert

A law suit of peculiar interest to
tho State has developed In the recent
term of the district court held at
Boulder. 1t was brought by Long
mont College against subscribers to
the fund for the erection of college
building to cost $4,000. The build
ing was begun and one small wing
pushed to completion, aud school
opened. 1t appears that those sub
scribing did so with the understand
ing that the entire amount of their
subscription was not to be paid unless
the entire amount, $40, 600, was rails
ed and the structure to be begun and
completed. This amount was not
raised, or, rather the building that
was designated was not built, and
these subscribers refuse the payment
of their notes on the ground that an
$4,000 or $4,000 building is all that
will get, whereas a $4,000 one was
guaranteed. Tne judge instructed
the jury TO bring in verdict for the
college. The decision is doubtless
just one according to the condition
Of the notes signed and rendered and
the testimony rendered. --Greeley

Another Land District in
FavOr OF a Settler.


WASHINGTON, Oct. l5.-Commis-
siner Sparks of the General Land
Office has rentered decision in the
case of the Northern Pacific Railway
Company VS.. Pudolph Distler, on an
appeal from the decision of the
Olympia, Washington Territory,
Land Office on November Is, 1885.
Distler presented his homestead sp-
plication for quarter-section within
the limits of indemnity, s.na alleging
settlement April IS, 1885, :he tract
IN dispute being continuously with
drawn since August IS, 1887, and
was also embraced in q list of sec
tions for indemnity purposes by the
company filed May 10, 1885.
Distler made proof, showing full
compliance with the law, as to resi-
dence, improvements, etc The local
office held he should be allowed to
enter his tract, and that the selec-
tons should not be cancelled.
This case is similar in all impor-
tant particulars to the celebrated
Guilford Miller case to which the
Commissioner calls attention as fol
lows: "Referring to letter by His
Excellency, Grover Cleveland, Pres.
ident of the United States, In the
matter of the case of Gullford Miller,
l mnst refuse to approve the selec-
ton by tho company, the settlement
right having attached to the tract
prior to said selection. Your decis-
ion is therefore afiimed and Distler's
application is held for allowance.
Should this become final and the Sc
lection be cancelled, the company
might select land in lieu thereof
should deficiency exist upon
which no settlement claim exists at
the date of selection.''

YESTERDAY AT THE JAIL.

Yesterday, almost all the day long, large
crowds of people were seen lounging and
waiting in the vicinity of the jeil They
were not allowed upon the county grounds
and SO they lined the sidewalks and sat
upon wagons and carriages in the street.
The cause of the crowd WIS the expecta-
ton that Lee Mcsier would be executed
asd their morbid curiosity prompted them
to spend most of the day awaiting the
event. The officials around the Jail told
them that the hanging was set for next
under any circumstances, hurry up the
affair One old fellow, however, who
seemed to be sort Of spokesman for
knot of the spectators, said he knew that
could not be: nobody was ever hung on
Tuesday ITO be sure; said one of his
hearers I'VE will stay here all night but
that we will see that Teller stretched.
There appeared TO be a sort of general feel
ing that he sheriff and his posse Of de
puties were trying to deceive the crowd
and only waiting for the dispersion of the
spectators to go on with the execution.
About II o'clock Sheriff Hay~ and Under
Sheriff Brown walked from the front OF
the building 30 go round 10 inspect the
gallOws. Between them walked Ed. Oar
nell, the jailer. bare-headsd and, as is quite
usual with him, his hands crossed
in front of his person. The crowd no
sooner caught a glimpse Of these three
men walking slowly along than some ore
| exclaimed: There they go; there Is Mo

Of the scaaold.

any wanted in the east. Marshal McMa-
hon, who was also at the
Jail, took advantage of the occa
sion to speak to Mosier. He had
instrumental in looking up the evidence
against him, and he thought that perhaps
the young criminal might wish to make
some kind of Il confession. The cage was
unlocked TO admit Yost, who had just re-
turned from having his preliminary hear,
ing at Judge Walters, and the officers and
a reporter entered Mosier was dressed in
blue flannel shirt and dark
pants, and standing, up smoking a

1t was really fine and meritorious en-
tcrtainment given by the GrismerDavies
company last night The play is an adj
mirabie dramatization of Hugh Conway S
famous novel, Called Back" Mr.. Girls
mer himself is the author of the dramma-
tized foam of the novel, and he has accom-
plished the work at once with remarkable
fidelity to the plot of the story, and with
an actors knowledge of the necessities Of
the stage
Mr.. Grismer took the part Of Gilbert
Vaughn He is an actor in the truest and
besr sense of the word adept and finished
in all the details of his art. Besides, he is
a cultured gentleman, and in his bearing
on the stage shows a metal and polish
which are rare in these days He is an in
defatiCable student and worker in his pro-
fession and has achieved the high rank in
which he now stands by honest merit-and
he is q rising man on the stage.
Phoebe Davies made specially favora-
BILE impression in the role of Pauline. Her
personatiOn, as leading critic has said. is
splendid exhibition of beauty, grace and

CRAWFORD.
Last evening Mr. George c. Min opened
his engagement at the Crawford in Othello.
The audience, while not large, was highly
appreciative and at the conclusion united
in giving him praise for his superior inter
prrtation of the character of the dusky war
riOr. That he has wonderfully improved
il is only necessary to contrast his past
with the present. Othello is one of his
favorite characters; and of the rude yet
| tender, bluff yet eloquent Moore he gives
"a powerful impersonation. His stories of
the charms by means OF which he won the
gentle Desdemonia was eloquent and
convincing, But it was in
the great finale that he puts
forth his greatest force and where his
